A 60-minute salute to American International Pictures. Entertainment lawyer Samuel Z. Arkoff founded AIP (then called American Releasing Corporation) on a $3000 loan in 1954 with his partner, James H. Nicholson, a former West Coast exhibitor and distributor. The company made its mark by targeting teenagers with quickly produced films that exploited subjects mainstream films were reluctant to tackle. From monsters to beach parties to cycle gangs to the psychedelic youth, many film clips are shown, highlighting the company’s successful twenty-five year run in Hollywood. Interviewees include Arkoff, Nicholson (archive footage), Peter Bogdanovich, Bob Burns, Herman Cohen, Roger Corman, Dick Dale, Joe Dante, David Del Valle, Bruce Dern, Roger Ebert, Beverly Garland, Pam Grier, Susan Hart, James L. Honore, Al Kallis, Aron Kincaid, Mark Thomas McGee, Dick Miller, and Burt Topper.

Narrated by Eli Wallach, this fascinating and entertaining documentary celebrates the work of Reynold Brown, one of the most acclaimed movie poster artists of the Fifties and early Sixties, whose work colorfully encapsulated the nation’s postwar social climate. The video illustrates scores of Brown’s compelling posters – often interwoven with ‘Coming Attractions’ previews – for films such as “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman,” “This Island Earth,” “I Was a Teenage Werewolf,” “Tarantula,”The Creature from the Black Lagoon” and “Monster on the Campus.” Art critics, curators and authors as well as B-movie producers Roger Corman and Samuel Z. Arkoff discuss Brown’s work in an art historical and social context, discussing the artistry of posters often more memorable than the films themselves.
